I've been watching a lot of Kiko Loureiro videos lately and it seems he's using a PATB Distortion in the bridge and a Hot Rails in the neck of his main Tagima guitar. He has a dark, very middy and compressed+fluid tone with almost no overtones. I actually like it very much, doesn't sound like...

Do Duncan bridge humbuckers (with covers) fit in the neck position of most guitars?

OK so I've come down to these four pickup combos '59b(n)/DD(b) Jazz bridge(n)/DD(b) Jazz bridge(n)/Custom(b) DDn(n)/Custom(b) Which one would achieve the best balance among chunky palm muting, shred and good cleans?

Rerecorded the rhythm tracks of my cover of I'll See the Light Tonight by Malmsteen, the rhythms are done on an Epiphone Les Paul custom with a JB in the bridge, the leads I didn't touch (Schecter C-1 Classic with dual DDs)...

Need a beater guitar quick, probably gonna buy this ebony fretboard mahogany body/neck, set neck Tonepros tune-o-matic grover tuners coil split on tone knob What pickup combo should I get for this guitar? I play mainly metal and shred, and I do need decent cleans. Out of these four, for the...

So far I've used the JB, Invader, DD and Custom and would like to try something new. I'm looking for a bridge pickup for metal, it has to stay focused, tight and never thin. I was looking at the Custom 5 and Jazz Bridge and wondering, 1. Which pickup is tighter? I was very satisfied with the...

I'm planning on buying a new guitar, it's 25.5", mahogany body, mahogany set neck, ebony fretboard but its bridge pup is a custom custom which I probably will dislike because I'm mostly gonna play shred. Any suggestions for the bridge pickup? Basically I'd like a pickup that's tight and with NO...

I have an Epi Les Paul custom with the Jazz/JB set and it sounds MUCH tighter than my Schecter C-1 Classic which has dual DDs. I thought it was supposed to be the other way round? Isn't the Distortion tighter than the JB?

I recently recorded a cover of Yngwie Malmsteen's I'll See the Light, Tonight for fun and to test my new DDs. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=704455&songID=5625622 My playing is sloppy but I hope you enjoy it;)

Changed pickups from Jazz/JB to DD/Invader and was worried about getting abominable clean tones, but so far I guess it's OK:) I'm actually liking the split cleans from these more than the Jazz/JB. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=704455&songID=5462150 Forgive my mediocre...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm planning to replace the JB on my Schecter C1 Classic because it simply lacks the chug for high gain stuff. I've had my eyes on the DD and Invader for quite some time, but from the recordings I hear in this forum I'm more attracted to the Invader's massive crunch...
